Yeah, good point. There is no way it could have been by chance. I was actually thinking about something that is even MORE amazing. My Dad produces 400 billion sperm cells in his lifetime, and my Mom pass 300 unique eggs throughout her reproductive life. When I was born a single sperm cell had to unite with a single egg cell. That means the chance of me even existing is 1 in 120,000,000,000,000! And look at my license plate. It has three letters and three numbers. The chance that I have that license plate is 1 in 17,000,000! There is NO way it is chance!
Do you see why this argument is total shit?
Don't get me wrong. There are factors that are probably necessary for all forms of intelligent life (liquid water, organics, an atmosphere, a stable orbit) but other ones are only necessary for life on Earth.
I thought he was on the right track when he said:
"As we consider the cosmos, our environment, our world, our bodies, and all that is necessary for to nuture life on earth on must quickly realize that there are hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions of variables that must all be in place, all the time, in order for life to continue as we know it."
But then he quickly turns around and gives a conclusion that makes it sound like the conditions on Earth are necessary for intelligent life everywhere.
The Earth isn't perfectly fined tuned for us, we are perfectly fine tuned for the Earth. Of course the Earth is hospitible for humans. We evolved here! So how about life as we "don't" know it? I'm sure most aliens wouldn't find Earth very appealing.
